Time Travel: Age of Discovery

The heart of the East China Sea is located within the territory of the Kingdom of Goa.

This was Teya's second trip to the sea. His previous trip to the east coast had been filled with joy, but a series of troubles had turned it into a regretful memory. This trip, although still constrained, brought a ray of hope to a long-simmering feeling.

To be honest, Teya reflected on his stubborn nature. What could he do if he went it alone? He hadn't touched any forbidden ground. How could the powerful world spy on him all the time?

What's more, those CP0s are not enough to deter themselves.

Besides, it seems that he alone would not have caused the current situation. Perhaps it was just a subtle hint of naval power.

"General Teya, the country of Goa is ahead. Should we send an ultimatum to the local naval base?" The adjutant approached at the right time and asked Teya as required by his duty.

But Teya said that was not necessary. He was not going directly to Goa, but to Mount Gorpo.

Without a map to guide you, it would be difficult to recall the name of this mountain. This is the home of the bandit clan of Danda, and also the village where Ace and Luffy, his adopted sons, live.

Teya guessed that Garp was probably here. After all, Luffy was still young and probably hadn't been sent to Danda for care yet, but Ace was definitely here, so Teya decided to head straight for Mount Gorpo.

Teya also wondered, if Garp asked her why, how would she answer? How would she know where he was?

Did Zhan Guo tell him? Or did He tell him?

This shouldn't be the case. Such a secret must be kept strictly by Garp and not known to outsiders. How can I explain it?

After thinking for a moment, Teya simply stopped worrying and waited for him to ask, then answered truthfully that it was just a chance encounter. The voyage was long and he was strolling around this place when he stopped, so he met here by chance, that's all.

"I wonder what that old man Garp is so busy about every day that he's made me travel thousands of miles to meet him." Speaking of this, although it had been quite a while since he'd seen Garp, Toya knew that raising Ace and keeping his identity a secret was no easy task. He probably struggled with this, too.

Teya stood at the bow, his robe sleeves dancing in the sea breeze as he gazed at the approaching island, his eyes narrowing slightly. Seeing the young Ace would be a valuable experience for him on this journey.

As if with some forethought, a child sprawled on the grass, deep in the bushes on a distant island, clutching a half-broken telescope, his gaze fixed on the sea. Seeing the ship come into view, his expression brightened, and with a faintly disdainful tut, he quickly climbed a tree, effortlessly leaping over the branches and disappearing into the dense forest.

Ten minutes later, the ship quietly docked at the island.

"You stay where you are and wait. I will go to the island to check on you."

"As ordered!"

Stepping off the deck, Teya looked around the island and walked slowly towards it.

This island was no different from any other; it was called Mount Gorpo, and there was indeed a mountain standing atop it. Teya activated his Observation Haki and searched for any traces of human life.

As expected, he quickly locked onto a location, sensing a gathering of five people—undoubtedly the Danda clan. With his observation Haki retracted, Teya crossed the jungle and entered a clearing. Sure enough, he found a unique house in an open area halfway up the mountain. Smoke rose from a chimney, indicating someone was preparing a meal.

However, there were some mechanical devices around, which could be considered as protective facilities. Teya wondered, could there be other bandits on Mount Gorpo?

Meanwhile, Danda was busy cooking at home. She was alone in the room, fiddling with a cloth bag containing gold coins and banknotes. It looked like she was counting them. After the count, she put the bag into a cupboard behind her, smoking a cigarette and puffing it out.

Danda said to herself, "Where has this brat run off to? He doesn't even come home for mealtime." Her words were sarcastic, but she was really worried about Ace's safety.

Although four-year-old Ace was still in great danger from ferocious beasts, Danda couldn't always watch over him. Old man Garp was so carefree, leaving all the hard work to her. Not only did he not pay a cent for raising his young son, he also raised a fearless child.

"Ugh."

Danda closed his eyes, tapped his knees lightly, and took a leisurely puff of his cigarette.

Suddenly, I heard a scream outside the door, followed by the sound of something heavy falling on the table. It didn't seem to be damaged, but it made me feel nervous.

The scene in the house fell into Danda's eyes. Although she didn't know who had caused the trouble, she still saw the moment when the furniture was thrown to the door. Then, she ran to the door in a rage and scolded them harshly.

"Who's causing this trouble? Do you still want this table leg?"

Moving the dining table was bad enough, but throwing it was too much. Danda was already in a bad mood, and his anger rose sharply after his own boy caused such a scene.

But she soon understood what had happened. An unexpected guest had arrived, his military attire revealing his identity—General Teya, draped in the banner of justice.

At this moment, Teya looked at the Danda family members who were stunned in their place, frowned slightly and asked, "Are you from the Danda lineage?"

Although he had already determined that the people in front of him were Danda's family, he still needed to confirm it because the image of the woman walking out in front of him was very different from the Danda in his memory.

This person is only about thirty years old and a little plump, but her beauty can still be seen.

Is she Danda? Are all the women in One Piece this beautiful when they are young? She is truly extraordinary!

Danda sweatdropped: "We are, you are?"

"Don't misunderstand me. I have no other intention in looking for General Karp." To avoid suspicion, Teya spoke frankly to avoid any further complications.

Unexpectedly, a stone came hurtling towards him. Without even turning back, Teya reached out and caught the stone. Teya smiled slightly. It turned out that Ace, the "Escaped Rabbit", had come to protect Danda.

But Thea underestimated Ace. He aimed at Thea again and threw stones. It seemed that he was using a slingshot as a weapon.

Ace had spotted Teya's ship long ago, but he had been hiding and observing, trying to figure out what the ship had to do with the old sailor. Unexpectedly, the sailor barged into Danda's house, mistaking him for an arrest. Ace hurried back to protect his family...
